September is Su***de Prevention Month.
Farming can be incredibly rewardingābut it can also come with a weight that many people donāt see.
Weather. Markets. Financial pressure. Long days. Isolation. The responsibility of carrying on a family farm. The pressure to keep going, even when things feel impossible.
And because agriculture is a community built on resilience, it can sometimes be difficult to admit when we need help.
So this month, check on your strongest farmer. The one who always has a plan. The one who never complains. The one who seems to be holding it all together.
Ask how theyāre really doing. And then take the time to listen.
Because behind every strong farm, there are peopleāand those people matter.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988. Help is available 24/7.
